What would be the best?

[toysoldier]

Hello, just received an i5 plus RX480 and i7 plus GTX980Ti

The CPUs are 1151 so the build have to be a skylake

Since the GTX is going to be replaced with the future AMD (RX490)

There has to be a bigger investition in the motherboard, PSU, ram, case

everything have to be close to high end, since the builds are going to be

upgraded in the future. The ram have to be at least 16 GB (due to multiboxing)

I'm not sure about what frequency is needed for those skylake builds nor which

brand would be perfect/most stable with intensive use.

I really need some recommendations about choosing a PSU, ram, case, mb

that would match the best those cpu/gpu combos.

That 980ti is faster than an rx480, and you want 2 systems? what i5 and i7 are they

There are going to be two systems the one will be an i7 6700K (1151) with a GTX980Ti and the second one is going to be XFX RX480 Black Edition with an i5 6600K (1151 too), also they both must have at least 16 GB of DDR4 ram. About the rest like - case - motherboard - power supply - ram brand/frequency - I'm lost. So that's what I need help with.

You have a budget for each of these rigs?

Well any case you like tbh, define s? s340?

motherboard - any z170 motherboard for overclocking

Ram -  maybe some hyper x 16gb ddr4 kit?

psu - http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=220-G2-0750-XR

Psu -

@HKZeroFive - already got the cpus and the gpus, and yes I got the budget, the idea is that I don't want to bottleneck the build or fail by buying something that doesn't work properly with the rest of the hardware, but also want to avoid overspending money for something that isn't needed. Please don't go off topic..

 

@Julian5 TY so much, what about the storage? (honestly won't need more than 300gb, but it has to be fast I guess?)

a 240gb SSD would be fine then

I fail to see how I'm going off topic. Without a budget, I cannot properly determine which parts to get.

500-600EUR (per one system without the gpu/cpu/storage) would be perfect !

Without storage? So you don't need a SSD?

 

I've added in one anyway. If you don't need it, then I'd probably grab a better CPU cooler instead:

@HKZeroFive TY  ! what would be the better cooler?

There are high end air coolers such as the Noctua NH-D15, beQuiet! Dark Rock Pro 3 and the Cryorig R1 Ultimate which have less points of failure than AIOs, tend to make less noise while rivalling 240mm AIOs. It will however, require a different case rather than the S340.

 

Beyond that, 280mm AIOs such as the NZXT Kraken X61 tend to be the best cooling solutions.

how about corsair hydro series ? 240-280mm ? would they match the case ?

Yes, they would.

For the PSU check out the PSU Tier List or Whitelist in my signature if you need resources. An EVGA GQ/G2/GS/B2 fills in the blank for most people these days and a single RX480 system would be fine on a 550W easily.
